How to Always Secure Empty Trash
February 7th, 2010 - Mac OS X, Security, Tips & Tricks
You can set Mac OS X to always securely empty the Trash just by adjusting a preference within the Finder. Here’s how:
* Enter the Finder Preferences by either going to the Finder menu and selecting “Preferences” or by hitting Command+, within the Finder.
* Click on the ‘Advanced’ tab icon
* Click the checkbox next to “Empty Trash Securely”
Now your Trash will always be securely emptied! Note this makes data recovery practically impossible.
